i have a garmin quest, i didnt see the need to pay the extra for the HD on the front, having the dealer DB loaded would be nice but the data is available online and can be loaded in to the non HD version.

Naitram, where is the dealer data online? I only have seen reference to it being published in the future. I removed the dealer data to make room for a trip and found out it isn

I was looking at the Garmin spec's on the 2730, it looks like it is able to down load real time color weather radar from XM WX satellite.  This could keep you from riding into some real weather problems.

You guys with the 26xx Garmins, do you use the turn-by-turn voice prompts, or do you just watch the screen/road signs?

Brian, on the rare occasion I take it with me in the truck I have the voice prompts.

. . . . the audio is really redundant.  It's at times even quite annoying.

That is exactly as I thought it might be.

So, you're saying the power cord contains a speaker?

http://www.moccsplace.com/images/harley/gpsdealers/

i couldnt load them all in one shot but i used the indivual state files. and load for where i'll be traveling. i'm hoping if/when HD updates theirs i will be able to use it

Thanks for that naitram. After reading the description @ moccsplace it appeares to me the files are a collection of modified waypoints to all the HD dealers for the gps. I surmise that the memory would be sacrificed from the description that is given using this method. I really didnt see much memory gain from dumping my original hd database, it was more a mistake on my part. from what you loaded what kind of memory is sacrificed from state to state or whould it be practicle to load the whole United States from your experience?
